Should I install my factory steering wheel?

Overall, I say my interior looks pretty good...but now that I've added alot of new items...the steering wheel looks almost out of place. What do you think? Should I stick with the grant? Or should I put my factory steering wheel back on?

it's a digital volt meter that shows how many volts my amp is putting out. Very useful gauge.

I say factory.

....You could use an Iroc wheel too. It doesn't actually say "IROC" anywhere.

I'm still tossing some idea's around. The grant looks alright...just seems really small...even though..it is nice to tilt the wheel all the way down..and have it not hit your knee's

I think the stock wheels are horrible, 91-92 arent bad, but I'd stick with the Grant

Thats the same wheel I have.

If that Grant one is the only option, I'd stay with the stock one. I have one of those Grant wheels in the basement, and never even tried it on. I just don't like the feel or the looks of it.

SWEET!

The interior of your car is gorgeous. It is damn near perfect. Keep the Grant. It fits the look of the interior much better than the stock wheel.

KEEP THE GRANT!!

I think you should install the factory wheel. Although, like someone else said, the earlier IROC Camaro steering wheels are confortable and would probably look good in your car. I never liked the Grant steering wheels. Go with what you like.

i would ditch the grant. I do like the 90's wheels.. but not the earlier ones. Maybe just a different aftermarket wheel? The grantlooks cheap to me in a car that looks like its going towards a show car...

I'd say go back to the factory wheel. You're right about the Grant looking small.
